Oklahoma Dog Bite Lawyer

If you’ve been the victim of an Oklahoma dog bite, it’s crucial that you have an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side that will fight for the compensation you deserve. At McIntyre Law P.C., we have an experienced team of legal professionals ready to assist you through every aspect of your claim. We will make sure the insurance company fairly compensates you for your medical bills, future medical needs and pain and suffering you have incurred as a result of a dog bite.

Strict Liability and Dog Attacks

Oklahoma applies “strict liability” when dogs attack and injure others. “Strict Liability means that there is no need to prove “fault” when a dog attacks. The only issue to be proved is ownership of the dog. Ownership is typically established through licensing or vaccination records, and that the dog in question actually bit the claimant. The issue you are left with is what is the appropriate compensation you or your loved one deserves. Dog owner’s homeowners’ insurance policies are obligated to compensate individuals injured as a result of a dog bite.

A knowledgeable Oklahoma City dog bite attorney understands the importance of giving you, your child or any other family member the best legal representation. While Oklahoma has strict liability laws concerning dogs that bite, proving negligence can be a challenging task. We understand the importance of proactive gathering of evidence, consulting with doctors and analyzing the long-term consequences a dog bite has on its victim and their family.

Dog bite victims often require plastic surgery. These surgeries can consist of skin grafts and complete reconstructive surgeries.
